Oyster Mushroom Ready to Fruit Substrate Blocks (2 x 12kg Blocks)
Our Oyster mushroom substrate blocks enable you to grow bulk quantities of Oyster mushrooms in the easiest possible way.
The substrate comes in a box with 2 x 12kg blocks that are fully colonised and ready to fruit mushrooms.
You can skip the mixing, sterilisation, inoculation and incubation stages, and simply place these highly productive and reliable substrate blocks straight into your fruiting room.
5-10 days later you will have a beautiful crop of Oyster mushrooms ready to harvest.
The blocks are approved by the Soil Association for use in organic agriculture.
The bags they are in are 100% fully biodegradable and compostable (the first compostable mushroom growing bags in the world!)
Grown on our blend of locally sourced organic straw, alfalfa + mineral supplements.
Each 12kg substrate block will produce approximately 3kg of fresh oyster mushrooms from 2-3 crops over a 3-5 week fruiting period.
The blocks are well suited to both hobby growers and commercial growers.

Fruiting Conditions
The substrate is incubated for the ideal amount of time in our controlled incubation rooms where we balance temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide levels for optimal mycelial growth.
The substrate is fully colonised when you receive it and you will need a suitable fruiting room environment to grow them in where you can provide the following conditions:
- Temperature: 10 - 28C
- Humidity: 80 - 95% R.H.
- CO2: below 800ppm
- Light: 800-1500 lux, 12 hours/day
Please note that you should aim to place the blocks straight into this environment within 24 hours as they will be ready to start growing.
Expected Yield
3kg of Oyster mushrooms from 2-3 crops, over a 3-5 week time period
